1.) Go here.
2.) Download the latest compatible version to your computer.
3.) Open the setup file and install it
4.) Open up your Web Browser and go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
5.) Click on the Databases link.
6.) Type whatever you want into the text box, skip the Collation dropdown, and click "Create".
7.) Find the file that has something like this in it:

<?php
mysql_connect('localhost','username','password');
mysql_select_db('database_name');
?>

8.) Keep the 'localhost' in there, change the 'username' to 'root' and leave 'password' blank, and replace 'database_name' with the name of the database that you created in step 6.
9.) Save the file.
10.) Do whatever your script tells you to do in order to set it up.
